International Students
Welcome to the CU community!
We are so glad that you will be joining our Campbellsville University (CU) community! Take a look at the information below and get ready to join us at CU!
Be sure to pay special attention to deadlines and the list of things to do before you arrive.
Arrival
Fall 2022- Plan to arrive on August 17 or 18. You can take the airport shuttle to campus, or come to our CGE Welcome times on August 17.
International Student Orientation begins 19 August 2022. All new international students should plan to attend orientation.
*Athletes- Some athletes will arrive early for practice. If you are an athlete, contact your coach about your required arrival dates.
Airport Shuttle
If you need to arrive the day before, we recommend that you stay at the Tru Hotel, Hampton Inn or Springfield Suites at the Louisville airport. These hotels share a parking lot and we will meet students who stay overnight at the hotel, after completing the airport pickup.
When you make your reservations, tell them that you are with the Campbellsville University group to get a discount on your room. You must make your reservations before August 5 to get this discount!
Arriving on Campus
We have also prepared a welcome for you when you arrive on campus.
All students on the shuttle will be taken to the Student Activity Center, where you will meet CGE staff and Resident Directors who will help you find your dorm and give you important orientation information.
Other Arrival Plans
We know that some students will not be able to take the airport shuttle on the day they arrive or they will prefer to make other plans. Please use these resources if you need to find a hotel in the area, rent a car, or take a taxi.
